It's a trip down rock 'n' roll's memory lane for Richard Wilson, as he recalls his role as manager of The Majestics in John Byrne's 1987 acclaimed TV drama series Tutti Frutti. When it first hit our television screens, the series was instantly hailed as a modern classic that thrust many of its cast into the mainstream and transformed the career of leading man – and Majestics frontman – the late, great Robbie Coltrane.
Artworks goes behind the scenes with The National Theatre of Scotland to see how they transform the classic TV series Tutti Frutti for the stage. Former cast members including Robbie Coltrane, Richard Wilson and Katy Murphy also recall the making of the original comedy drama 20 years ago.
